[glow=red,2,500]Pyrodeus landed at the Forge, holding Taelyrn's sword in his hand. As he opened the doors, he couldn't help but feel pride in Taelyrn. He had made a sacrifice that Pyrodeus prayed he might have the courage to make, if needed.
"Taelyrn, the people will know of your sacrifice," he said. Looking at the remaining weapons he forged, the hundreds never used due to the small angelic force, he promptly melted them down, a large puddle of molten metal about an inch deep covering the Forge floor.
First, Pyrodeus created a large, wide cylinder, about four feet across by a foot thick.
Atop the cylinder he began to direct the steel using the heat within it, creating a simple humanoid figure. Once the figure was completed, Pyrodeus began doing finer detailing. After no less that four hours he had created a life-size, flawless statue of Taelyrn outside the Forge. Pyrodeus even put Taelyrn's real sword in the right hand, the statue holding it aloft with the tip pointing skyward. Within the cylinder, Pyrodeus carved the words:
Pyrodeus looked at the statue. Something still didn't seem quite right. He then realized Taelyrn's statue was a dull iron gray.
Pyrodeus promptly bombarded it with white-hot flames, changing the properties of the alloys. When he was done, he had changed the metal of the statue to an alloy unbreakable by any non-magical means, preventing theft of the sword. It was also a gleaming chrome.
"That's better," Pyrodeus said, retiring to the Forge and sealing the doors behind him.[/glow]

VALIANTLY GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE GOOD OF ETRAH
HE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE TO ALLOW LIFE TO CONTINUE
